- hackerfromthefu 5y agoYup, if 'both you and your wife are doing farmwork' then who's got the time and energy to pursue a lucrative career? At least you could read about it on HN!
- ploika 5y agoEspecially with a young family to raise too. A big polytunnel in the garden might make sense as a time-consuming hobby with practical benefits (though I still think it would be more expensive than just getting groceries), but not a farm.
